Indie developer Half Past Yellow will launch its co-op horror game, Stream Train, on Steam on Oct. 15, with player registration now open for an upcoming playtest.
Stream Train challenges up to six players to squad up, customize their avatars, and take control of an old steam train to explore the cryptid-infested wilderness of the Uncanny Valley. In this unique survival horror experience, players attempt to go viral by livestreaming their rail journey through an abandoned railroad, investigating derelict buildings, and documenting strange creatures.
Survival depends on more than just outrunning the supernatural. Players must keep their in-game audience engaged by capturing content and pulling off pranks, as chatters react in real-time to everything they see. Audience engagement generates crucial donations and support needed to keep the crew alive against ghosts, cryptids, and hostile forest entities.
“The team have poured their heart and soul into Stream Train and we are excited to get the game in front of players,” said CEO Remy Stuurwold.
“I have always wanted to build a game with livestreaming as a mechanic; pairing it with the social co-op genre made complete sense,” added Game Director Max Wrighton. “I can’t wait to see what players think.”
Stream Train launches Oct. 15 on Steam and is currently available to wishlist, with playtest sign-ups accessible via the game’s store page.
